Novell / Microsoft tried to bend under him the future of open source

Marketing Director, Novell, Justin Steinman, said that Novell is one of the largest kontribyuterov FSF, as well as part of the “Committee B” GPLv3 developers community. Therefore, the company intends to “participate” in finalizing the 3rd version of the GPL, so that the final license in no way hindered the continuation of the agreement between Microsoft and Novell.

Pleases one, Peter Brown blew to smithereens statement Justin Steinman, stating that the last time Novell “sacrificed” FSF’u $ 5000 in 2005. After the deal with Microsoft FSF did not ask Novell about any financial support, and the company itself is not particularly yearned to share the money. Therefore, Peter Brown, clearly and precisely stated that Novell is by no means is any significant kontribyuterom FSF, in fact, the developers intend to make the new GPLv3 license, so that it prevented the transaction type “Microsoft + Novell”.
